Since July 1st 2020 sale and development of GogTasks for Outlook has been halted. You can for the time being still use your existing installation or download the latest version here if you already have a license. Note however that GogTasks is dependent on the Google Tasks service and any future breaking technology or license changes may break GogTasks for Outlook.

Thanks to Google Tasks, you may create and organize your tasks on almost any platform, anywhere in the world, as long as you have an Internet connection. GogTasks makes MS Outlook another supported platform. It enables you to synchronize your tasks between Outlook and Google Tasks, in one or both directions.

GogTasks works as a plug-in for MS Outlook. There are three setup files available for download, for different Outlook versions. All installation packages are small, but the setup wizard will download the necessary files from the internet, so it may take several minutes to install the plug-in. Another important aspect is the fact that GogTasks is available for various mobile devices, like the iPhone or iPad, Android or Windows phones and others.

When the installation process is complete, you will find new options on MS Outlook’s interface. One of them will bring up the plug-in’s general settings menu, while the other will synchronize your tasks right away.

The general settings menu is where you can log into your Gmail account, to authorize GogTasks. You can also select a series of navigation tabs, if you want to make additional configurations. You may decide what and where to synchronize, enable automatic synchronizations, set up filters, and more. It is also possible to set GogTasks to synchronize emails if they are flagged as tasks and to locate and erase duplicate tasks.

If you are satisfied with your configurations, you may create your tasks in Outlook or Gmail as usual. When you hit the synchronization option on Outlook’s interface, GogTasks will communicate with Gmail and it will display which tasks are going to be copied or removed and where, on a separate window. Finally, you must hit the Commit option, on the same window, and your tasks will be synchronized. As previously mentioned, you can decide to synchronize your tasks in both directions or just one, from Outlook to Gmail or vice versa.

Pros:
You can synchronize your tasks between Outlook and Google Tasks, with a single click. The synchronization can be performed in one or both directions and you can make a wide range of configurations, depending on your personal needs. GogTasks works as a plug-in, which is available for various Outlook editions.

Cons:
It is not possible to synchronize individual tasks.
